Nothing has really changed, but let's go over the basics...
1. 3 Strikes and you're out! You can earn a strike by failing to meet a deadline (whether it's for a challenge or voting) without giving notice. Basically, keep the lines of communication open. The more notice you can give me about certain events, or the faster you are able to fill me in on why you missed something, the less likely you are to get a strike. You all know that I'm flexible when you are sure to keep me informed!
If you miss a vote though, you get a strike regardless, since EVERYONE has the ability (and is encouraged) to put a bootlist in their DR. If someone is removed from the game due to accumulating 3 strikes, the eviction for that round is cancelled (unless it's of course a double/multiple eviction week, in which the remaining evictions will still need to be fulfilled).
2. Respect all people involved in this game. If you make it personal and disrespect any person playing/hosting/viewing, I might have to step in and dish out punishments (the most severe of which could be expulsion). This is a game, after all, and we're all adults (or expected to act like adults), so don't get carried away. Keep the trolling and fighting to a game perspective, and stay classy.
3. Have fun. This is going to be an intense season, but please enjoy yourself. If you're not having fun, then you're playing wrong. And I don't take any blame for that. Also, please don't complain. If you don't like a challenge or a twist, go ahead and rant about it, but don't be a baby about it. Everyone will be doing the same challenges, so if it's tough, well then deal with it.
4. Obviously, there should be no passwords exchanged, meaning that you should be the only person logging into your account. And, when you've been evicted, refrain from posting (and liking/disliking) in the house itself. You will have a SPECIAL house made for you to say whatever you want. But stay out of the game when you've been removed.
Finally, for this season, remember these two things:
All choices have consequences.
Big Brother might present you with various choices along the course of this game. Be mindful to realize that, for every good, there is some bad. And for every bad, there will be good.
There are no secrets.
Nothing in this season will remain a mystery for long. If you win a secret prize, the outcome will be revealed. If you choose to use a special power, every detail of that power will become public knowledge. Every challenge that you compete in, your answers/results will be revealed to the fullest. Basically, Big Brother will know every time you take a piss, and he'll be sure to share that information with everyone. (Obviously, your DR will not be made public, nor will your votes for eviction, unless otherwise stated by a special power or outcome).
